Artificial-intelligence-based models of protein structure could be improved by incorporating data from pharmaceutical companies.Credit: Miyako Nakamura/Getty For drug discovery, protein-folding models such as AlphaFold have a data problem: there isn’t enough of it in public databases. Improving the performance of these artificial-intelligence-based tools will require extra data that provide examples of how proteins and drugs

A migrating breast cancer cell.Credit: Christoph Burgstedt/SPL Choosing the most effective treatment for people with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is often challenging because the tumours can behave very differently at the molecular level. Now, researchers have developed an artificial-intelligence-based ‘virtual cell model’ that can help in choosing the best treatment for this aggressive form of
